The newly inducted Likud-led
government then began its swearing in ceremony, with Netanyahu pledging first among his ministers.

"This is a special day for the State of Israel and
a very emotional day for me and my family," said Netanyahu once officially inducted prime minister. "I mostly feel the weight of the responsibility I now shoulder. My fellow ministers and I will do all we can to lead Israel towards a better future."

One by one, Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin called the new cabinet members to the podium, where they recited: "I hereby pledge my loyalty to the State of Israel and its laws, to faithfully carry out the position of my office and to uphold the decision of the Knesset."

Israel's new cabinet is comprised of the following ministers:

Vice Premier and Minister for Strategic Affairs Moshe Yaalon

Vice Premier, Minister for Regional Development and Minister for Development of the Negev and Galilee Silvan Shalom
